Nothing but rhythm, nothing but us lyrics
Verse
Smoke rising thin off the dying wood
Your shadow long where the embers stood
Dust on your ankles, dust on mine
Drum in the distance keeping time
Ten steps back where the circle grew
Now three steps left between me and you
Pre-Chorus
Feel the horizon burning slow
Nowhere left for the night to go
Every log drum pulls you in
Closer than the wind on skin
Chorus
Firelit horizon, keep moving close
Nothing but rhythm, nothing but us
Firelit horizon, keep moving close
Let the drum close the space we don't discuss
Keep moving close
Keep moving close
Verse
Bare feet pressing warm into sand
Your palm finds the curve of my hand
Sparks lift up when the driftwood cracks
Shoulders leaning, nothing held back
Circle tightens with the bassline's pull
No more distance left to fill
Pre-Chorus
Feel the horizon burning slow
Nowhere left for the night to go
Every log drum pulls you in
Closer than the wind on skin
Chorus
Firelit horizon, keep moving close
Nothing but rhythm, nothing but us
Firelit horizon, keep moving close
Let the drum close the space we don't discuss
Keep moving close
Keep moving close
Bridge
Forget the miles we walked to get here
Forget the words we couldn't make clear
Ash on our skin, the flame turned low
This is the only language we know
No talking now, just heartbeat and heat
Just the fire and the ground beneath our feet
Chorus
Firelit horizon, keep moving close
Nothing but rhythm, nothing but us
Firelit horizon, keep moving close
Let the drum close the space we don't discuss
Keep moving close
Keep moving close
